This is a lovely church, and if you can visit it I'd recommend it. Be aware that if you take video they might ask you to leave. I took a quick video of the interior and was shooed away. I Liked

This was the first orthodox church that I had ever been too..... and is still the nicest I've been too. Worth a visit if into churches.

You can see the Cathedral from the city centre you will see the "gold shinning" from the Helsinki museum is 10min walking or you can wait from one of the trams. Unfortunately on Sundays they are only open from 12h to 15h so didn't went inside. Anyway if you need to wait for Museums to open (on Sundays not before 10h) you can go there and take nice pics of Helsinki. Near the Cathedral is the Love Bridge. From there to Market Square 5min (or less).
